Singularity
is a research project in Microsoft Research that started with the
question: what would a software platform look like if it was designed
from scratch with the primary goal of dependability? Singularity
is working to answer this question by building on advances in
programming languages and tools to develop a new system architecture
and operating system (named Singularity), with the aim of producing a
more robust and dependable software platform. Singularity demonstrates
the practicality of new technologies and architectural decisions, which
should lead to the construction of more robust and dependable systems.
